At the heart of MPA
is Moldflow’s patented Dual Domain technology, which allows
users to work directly from 3D solid CAD models without the need
to create a finite element mesh analysis model.
This saves anywhere from hours to days to weeks in model preparation
time, meaning more part and mold designs can be evaluated more thoroughly.
In other words, users can spend more time optimizing their part
and mold designs for manufacturability, and less on the time-consuming
task of analysis model preparation.
In addition, Dual Domain provides the best combination of analysis
speed and accuracy. Because Dual Domain has been developed and fine-tuned
for thin-walled plastic parts, the most predominant geometry encountered
in injection molding, users are able to obtain accurate analysis
results in the minimum time. Unlike true 3D simulation, which is
only appropriate for an extremely small percentage (<5%) of injection
molded parts, Dual Domain technology allows users to analyze not
just every part and mold design, but every part and mold design
iteration.
The result is faster mold commissioning, decreased or non-existent
mold rework, a more robust manufacturing process and faster time
to market.
